Accessing Remote Apply

To access Remote Apply you can either go into the quoting area to start the journey from scratch or you can start it from an existing lead. For the purpose of this guide we will start the journey from scratch- from the ‘Quick Quote’ area of Showroom.

Selecting a vehicle

Once you are in the quoting area you can create a quote by selecting a vehicle. You can select a vehicle in a number of ways - via VRM, Selection, Quicker Picker, Identifier, Description or search your Stock. Have a play around to see which of the ways suits you to find a vehicle. In this example we are searching via Stock.

Creating a quote

Once you’ve selected a vehicle you can then create a finance quote for the vehicle. Guide your customers through changing things like the deposit, monthly payments, add any contributions etc.

Saving the quote

Once you’re happy with the quote click the save button. To save the quote you need to enter a name to identify the customer. You can create as many quotes as you would like by clicking the save button. You can also select multiple vehicles to create quotes upon, you don’t need to stick to one vehicle.

Email Remote Apply

When you’re ready and happy with the vehicles and finance quotes you’ve created, you can invite your customer to view your personalised offers on the vehicles they are interested in. To do this, click on the ‘Email Remote Apply’ tile.

Selecting the quotes you want to send

Once you’ve clicked on the ‘Email Remote Apply’ tile you will be shown all of the quotes you’ve created. You can select all of the quotes you’ve created or just some of the quotes.

Selecting the quotes

Once you’ve selected the quotes enter your customer's name and email address in the form below the quotes. You also need to tick that the customer has accepted the privacy policy. Whoever ticks this box is liable and needs to confirm that the customer has understood the policy.

Emailing the quotes to your customer

Once you’re happy with the quotes selected and the customer details you have entered click on the ‘Send email’ button. You then will be notified if it was successfully sent.

Customer email confirmation

The customer will receive an email inviting them to view their quotes.

The Remote Apply journey

Once the customer has clicked ‘View my quotes’ they’ll be taken into the Remote Apply journey.

Selecting the offers right for them

Returning to select different offers

Once they have clicked ‘More info’ if they need to get back to the list of finance offers the customer can click ‘Back to list’.

Returning to the journey

If for whatever reason the customer has had a break in their journey, they will be asked to verify who they are. Once they’ve confirmed they will be taken back into the Remote Apply journey.

Finding out more about the finance product
